Barry Bonds indicted for perjury
http://www.ktvu.com/news/14606146/detail.html

Major League Baseball's all-time home run king Barry Bonds was indicted Thursday on perjury and obstruction justice charges, according to KTVU reporter Rita Williams.

The five-count indictment -- four counts of perjury and one of obstruciton of justice -- capped one of the longest federal grand jury investigations in Northern California history -- a proceeding that introduced the sports world to the acronym BALCO (Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative) and led to the downfall of American track and field world and Olympic champions Marion Jones, Kelli White and Tim Montgomery.

Ouch.

10. Gee, what a surprise. The US attorney that decided to
file this case today, (because it was so difficult to find anything on Barry):

Is a Republican who donated $2,000 to Bush-Cheney in 2004.

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?last=Sch...

Oh, you want to know why he's there?

Because he replaced Kevin Ryan, one of eight U.S. attorneys fired by Bush.

Yea, I'm sure Mr. Schools is fair and balanced, just like all of you Barry haters.

Hate is so ugly.

11. Funny. Barry Bonds gets indicted for the same thing Bill Clinton got indicted for.
What goes around comes around!

15. I'm sorry. I don't care for Bonds, but this is bullshit.
"I did not know"

"I didn't knowingly take..."

This is going to set Bonds up to walk, and BALCO to continue to sell their new shit.

Whatever. Who loses?

18. And filed by a right wing conservative US Attorney.
I've never seen so many Democrats praise a Republican in my life.

19. No worries. He'll walk.
I've seen the kibbles 'n bits of this.

I'm also watching the fitness/bodybuilding world laugh at this. It's a well-founded laugh, too.

20. Right, it's all because Barry Bonds is black, right?
And/or a Democrat?

Please. That guy has been juiced out of his mind. No one, and I mean NO ONE has their height suddenly shoot up a couple inches past their 21st birthday.

22. Their height? Wait, no seriously...their height "suddenly shoot up"
How tall was Barry, and how tall is he post "suddenly shoot up" measurements?

You really don't know what "juiced of of his mind" means, do you?

24. Bicoastal, if you want to support a Republican, that's
up to you.

I, on the other hand, tend to question just about everything they do.

You may even be violating DU rules. LOL!!

And did Barry actually get taller?

You should call the NY Times and report your revelation, because thus far nobody has accused Bonds of taking steroids to get taller.

I had no idea.

I know he gained bulk near the end of his career.

But then, so did Michael Jordan, and it's funny how nobody talks about that.

25. I'm not going to comment on the charges unless I see them
Edited on Fri Nov-16-07 10:27 AM by mvd
more in detail. But up to 30 years in prison? That's a bit much when Bush is free. :hi:
